Swanson Whole Leaf Oregano
Looking for oregano capsules in a pure, unprocessed form? These Swanson Full Spectrum capsules contain 450 mg of ground oregano leaf (Origanum vulgare) per capsule. No extract, no concentrate: just the whole leaf, finely ground and encapsulated. This way you get oregano as it occurs naturally, and you can easily take it every day.
What full spectrum actually means
Full spectrum means that the entire leaf is used, without anything being removed or concentrated. With an extract, you isolate certain substances and amplify them; with full spectrum, the natural ratio of all plant components is preserved. Oregano leaf naturally contains aromatic oils such as carvacrol and thymol, along with flavonoids. By simply grinding the leaf, that entire mix remains intact, exactly as it is in the plant. Many people wonder if an extract isn't better. The difference is not in better or worse, but in the approach: full spectrum keeps the plant complete, an extract picks out parts.
Carvacrol and thymol, the aromatic compounds of oregano
The characteristic scent of oregano largely comes from carvacrol and thymol, two volatile oils naturally present in the leaf. In a full-spectrum capsule, these substances remain present, in the amount the plant produces them. Nothing is added or removed. This is also the difference with a concentrated oil product: there, the oils have been extracted from the leaf and highly concentrated, whereas here you get the complete, ground leaf.
Why people take oregano as a supplement
You probably know oregano from Italian cuisine, but the herb has been used in herbal traditions for centuries. Oregano (Origanum vulgare) is traditionally used to support digestion*. In addition, oregano (Origanum vulgare) supports respiratory health and natural immunity*. These are precisely the reasons why people take this herb as a regular supplement, apart from culinary uses. It's about a single plant, not a mixture of loose herbs, so you know exactly what you're getting.
A capsule instead of loose herbs
Fresh or dried oregano has a strong taste and smell, and not everyone wants that daily. In a capsule, you won't taste it: you swallow it whole with water. Each capsule contains the same 450 mg of ground leaf, so there's no need to weigh or dose. With 90 oregano capsules per pot, taking one a day means a bottle lasts approximately three months. And because it's a mono-ingredient, there's nothing else unnecessary in it: just the leaf and the capsule shell.
In short: oregano capsules with ground leaf from Origanum vulgare, without extraction or additives. If you have questions about its use, please read the accompanying information or ask your doctor. This way you can make an informed choice yourself.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many capsules do you take per day?
The standard dosage is 1 capsule per day with water. Adhere to the recommended daily dosage and do not take more than indicated.
What is it about oregano that appeals to people?
Oregano leaf naturally contains carvacrol and thymol, the compounds responsible for its distinctive aroma. It also contains flavonoids. In a full-spectrum capsule, all of these remain present, in the same ratio as found in the plant itself.
Can you taste the oregano in the capsule?
No. You swallow the capsule whole with water, so you won't notice the strong taste and smell of oregano. The contents are only released in your gastrointestinal tract.
What is the difference between oregano leaf and oregano oil?
Oregano leaf is the ground herb with all its components. Oregano oil is the concentrated oil extracted from the leaf. The leaf contains the oils in natural quantities; the oil is a highly concentrated form of these.
Is 450 mg a lot or a little?
That depends on what you're comparing it to. 450 mg of ground leaf per capsule is a common daily amount for a full-spectrum oregano supplement. If you want a concentrated form, you're more likely to be looking at an oil extract.
